Del Monte Pacific says Q2 profit jumped to $16.8M on strong sales

2025/12/12 00:07

DEL MONTE Pacific Ltd. (DMPL) said its net profit for the second quarter (Q2) ended Oct. 31 jumped nearly seven-fold to $16.8 million from $2.3 million a year ago, driven by higher sales.

For the first half of its fiscal year 2026, Del Monte’s net profit from continuing operations rose to $56.3 million, up from last year, supported by a 10% increase in sales to $423.3 million, it said in a statement on Thursday.

Sales growth was led by the Philippines, where packaged pineapple and mixed fruits recorded strong demand. Packaged pineapple benefited from nutrition-led campaigns, while mixed fruits expanded beyond seasonal fruit salads to year-round desserts, lifting market share by 4 percentage points, according to the company.

Internationally, fresh pineapple exports rose 23%, with North Asia remaining the company’s largest market for imported pineapples at a 51% share.

Net debt of continuing operations declined 4.79% to $994.9 million from $1.04 billion a year ago, reflecting improved cash flow and stronger operating results.

Del Monte deconsolidated its US subsidiary Del Monte Foods Corp. effective May 1, 2025, after the unit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April due to heavy debt and shifting consumer preferences.

The US unit secured $912.5 million in financing to continue operations while selling most of its assets under court supervision.

Joselito D. Campos, Jr., DMPL and Del Monte Philippines, Inc. (DMPI) chief executive officer, said: “Our excellent results demonstrate the underlying strength and potential of our Asian business. With DMPL’s deconsolidation and complete write-down of its US investment and other assets, we have a clear path forward. We are proactively working on capital initiatives at the DMPI level to enhance our financial flexibility as we invest in growth.

At the Philippine Stock Exchange on Thursday, DELM shares closed 1.38% higher at P5.15 apiece. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
